National Syncretism or Sincretismo Nacional is a third way, authoritarian, ultranationalist ideology created in Elaklania by former President, professor, and revolutionary, Pascual Josué Obregón. It is characterized by dictatorial leadership, collectivism, militarism, civic nationalism, and the belief that the state should bend its ideology right or left to serve the best interests of the people.

National Syncretism was popularized in early 20th century Elaklania. It emerged during the Second Elaklanian Civil War before expanding into Nastanovo and other countries in Cesylle, though it would not rise to prominence past Elaklania and has stayed predominantly a Elaklanian ideology.

Syncretists saw the accession of Obregón from a simple Professor to the new leader of Elaklania as proof of the ideologies credible and as Obregón’s reign brought Elaklania to new heights of development this belief only became more widespread. Syncretists reject both socialism and conservatism instead believing in Obregón’s theory of ideological annihilation, where to be above ideology the government must shift from socialism to conservatism depending on the needs of the people. Generally Syncretists agree that interventionist autarky, a strong vanguard party, and a nationalist populace are core values of National Syncretism.

In the modern day, Elaklania has abandoned many of the more radical positions of Syncretism leading many to wonder what the future of the ideology will be as fundamentalists struggle to keep the old principles intact in the face of mounting liberal pressure.

Etymology

History

Background

The 1st Republic had been established under the ideals of Hugo Bolek a early liberal & libertarian theorist, and the first president of Elaklania. His free market and decentralized policies slowly eroded much of the newly created freedoms that the Elaklanian people had gained during the second revolution.

In the place of democracy a two party system was created, on side there was the Radical Party, which represented Puerto Botina and the interests of the liberal land owners, on the other side there was the Federalist Reaction, which represented Ciudad Fernando and the interests of the conservative farmers. The two party system was predicated on every election allowing the opposing party to win instead of having a fair election, this allowed for the two parties to maintain a business relationship while also keeping the country together through friendly presidents.

By the early 1900s this practice would become known as City to City Politics, it reflected the growing sentiment that the two parties represented the interests of cliques in major cities rather than what the public wanted. All this would change in 1912, when after refusing to let their candidate, Isaías Elvira, lose the Radicals would remain in office; this would ignite a political crisis as the Federalists would declare the election fraudulent; raising local state armies to support their candidate. The Radicals would raise their own armies to suppress the Federalists and by March of that year a civil war would be in full swing, quickly the two sides would split into four factions, each representing a major city and their own respective President.
